Vernon Paulo beur boontoe
Jun 02, 2023 - Daar is soveel van ’n vasbyter in Vernon Paulo se benadering tot rugby dat dit ’n mens amper bang maak. Dié amper-22-jarige woelgees van ’n haker is op die oorlogspad. Vra maar vir Ikeys se skrumskakel, Asad Moos, wat tydens die Varsitybeker-finaal tussen die Eagles en die Tigers besluit het om die tuisspan se verdediging met ’n fopaangee te toets…http://news.nwu.ac.za/vernon-paulo-clawing-his-way-top
Vernon Paulo is clawing his way to the top

Paulo lined…http://news.nwu.ac.za/af/jean-tiedt-koning-van-verdediging

Daar was min struktuur (in elk geval nie soos vandag nie) en dit was meer van ’n skermutseling as ’n kliniese vertoning. Ja, daar was ’n paar asemrowende drieë, maar dit was omdat…http://news.nwu.ac.za/jean-tiedt-king-defence
Jean Tiedt: King of defence
Jun 02, 2023 - Rugby has changed. It has evolved. Take a look at some of the games in the 70s, 80s and early to mid-90s. They were a bit of a mess, weren’t they? There was little structure (not like nowadays, anyway) and it was more of a scrap than a clinical exhibition. Yes, there were some spectacular tries, but they occurred because defence players relied…http://news.nwu.ac.za/nwu-vice-chancellor-reflects-first-year-office
